NBA: Ranking the 10 best scouting departments over the past 20 years

Toronto Raptors

Despite Masai Ujiri never having experienced the satisfaction of dethroning LeBron, the Toronto Raptors have been able to draft very well, especially when it comes to international players. This season, Siakam is a candidate for the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award and disregarding Ujiri’s predecessors striking out a handful of times, they still managed to grab Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Chris Bosh.

The Raptors’ franchise has never had much playoff success, and have really struggled as of late, but their basketball scouts definitely seem to know what they’re doing in the past few seasons.

Hits: Pascal Siakam, Demar DeRozan, Fred VanVleet, Delon Wright, Norman Powell, Chris Bosh, O.G. Anunoby, Jonas Valanciunas, Jose Calderon

Misses: Bruno Caboclo, Joey Graham, Rafael Araujo, Roko Ukic, Lucas Nogueira
